Mom's Speech.

   So today was Mom's long awaited graduation speech. She went back to school for her MBA at Webster University and graduated last June. They asked her to give a speech at the big graduation for over 1,000 people. So we've heard her speech a lot. She did a really great job and everyone loved it, but the part they were most crazed about was the fact that she has seven kids. Mom often compares herself to snow white and this speech was no exception. As soon as he said "Snow White looks after seven little people-so do I." The crowd couldn't control there shock. The thing about this speech is that she portrays us so well and makes us sound like a perfect group of respectable young adults. We figured as long as no one knew we were her kids then we'd be golden. But as soon as she finished Nathaniel yells out "That's my Momma!" and it was all down hill from there. Everyone there tried their best to not look like they were staring at us but it was pretty darn obvious. We were video taped on two occasions.  We put Mom right to shame. Hudson kept trying to start the clap before everyone else did, but this usually meant him cutting people off while they were talking which was bad. At one point he even lost his gum, but don't worry he found it...on the back of my dress. Nathaniel decided to wear a zipper tie which supplied us all with great entertainment as always. Evan FatBoothed everyone in our row and Jordan and Allegra recruited the lady in front of us to cheer for Mom when they called her name. Mom is a real champion for raising all of us the way she did. And for loving us even when the only contribution we could make on her big day was getting up early and putting on the clothes she laid out for us the night before. She's amazing and i love her and I'm so proud of her!

This was the best picture we got of all of us...it's so Kauffman.
